Prolific In Cricket, Shane Watson Gets Schooled By His Son In 'Corridor Football'

Shane Watson might have retired from international cricket but the former Australian cricketer still continues to be a vital cog for numerous T20 franchises across the globe. The 36-year-old's all-round abilities has made him one of the highly sought after players in the T20 tournaments including Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the Indian Premier League (IPL).

For a man who began his journey in India's cash-rich T20 league with Rajasthan Royals, Watto, over the years, has rendered his services to the likes of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and now to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). While his explosive batting adds teeth to Chennai at the top, his brisk seam bowling has often provided crucial breakthroughs to his side this season.

But, as Watson aims to clinch yet another IPL title - this time with Chennai - on the back of his impeccable cricketing skills this season, his frailties in another sport were thoroughly exposed by his son recently.

In a video shared by CSK on Twitter, the all-rounder was seen locking horns with his son Will in an impromptu game of football in the corridor of his team hotel. While other players were also seen passing them by, it didn't deter the father-son duo from trying to outsmart each another with their footy skills.

After kicking the ball for a while, Will finally managed to get the football through his father's leg for a goal. The video has struck a cord with the Indian cricket fans - especially the CSK followers who wasted no time in liking, retweeting and commenting on the cute post.

Ever since his appointment with the CSK, Watson has become an integral part of the two-time champions. In the three matches he has played so far, Watson has amassed 69 runs - including six fours and four sixes - and claimed five scalps for the yellow brigade this season.

Chennai will once again require Watson's all-round abilities when they take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 17 of the IPL at the MCA stadium on 20 April.
